I thank you for your thoughts on the verses, or whatever they are you often go on and on about! For what purpose is this your path? Do you think we are
...
going to share a hallelujah? I think when it comes to seeing things, i feel you brother! Hallelujah... but tighten it up a bit, would you! We all have our journey and we mostly don't try so hard to share it with others! But if you need a hug and you're in the Boston area, I can help you out! Peace!

This show gets a lot of attention and deservedly so. The first set is far superior to the previous night, with a lot more goodies (Scarlet, Loser, TMNS).
...
The second set, well it has all the inventiveness of the night before but with more energy, IMO. The entire Lazy>Supp>LIG>Jam>TOO>Jam section is just phenomenal. St. Stephen is taken a bit too slow here, and it's not a very long NFA, but heck, they're just making time for The Wheel and TOO reprise.

"Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about,
himself or someone else?”
Isaiah 53
Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom ... has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For HE grew up before HIM like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
HE had no form or majesty that we should look at HIM,
and no beauty that we should desire HIM.
HE was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
HE was despised, and we esteemed HIM not.
Surely HE has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed HIM stricken,
smitten by G-d, and afflicted.
But HE was pierced for our transgressions;
HE was crushed for our iniquities;
upon HIM was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with HIS wounds we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on HIM
the iniquity of us all.
HE was oppressed, and HE was afflicted,
yet HE opened not HIS mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so HE opened not HIS mouth.
By oppression and judgment HE
was taken away;
and as for HIS generation, who considered
that HE was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of MY people?
And they made HIS grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in HIS death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in HIS mouth.
Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush HIM;
HE has put HIM to grief;
when HIS soul makes an offering for guilt,
HE shall see HIS offspring; HE shall prolong HIS days;
the will of the Lord shall prosper in HIS hand.
Out of the anguish of HIS soul HE shall see and be satisfied;
by HIS knowledge shall the righteous one, MY servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and HE shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will divide HIM a portion with the many,
and HE shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because HE poured out HIS soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet HE bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

OK - I was born in 58 so you know where I am coming from!
I write this to move it up in the queue; if you have not had the chance to come across it previously ... you will be pleasantly surprised -
The whole run seems good, but this one has the inspiration of new material and re-arrangements of the "classics" to be a joy. The existential and quintessential deadhead reason for being "on the bus"... something old, new, borrowed and blue, always presented in a unique way. I think of the story of Scheherazade's One Thousand and One Night's, we know the structure of plot, character and resolution - but each performance left us in the state of of satisfaction yet yearning for more.
Can we as an audience ask for more? Not until the buzz wore off and we were in extreme anticipation for the next night's show!
Thank you to the archive, is there anything more "Deadlike" on the internet?

I've been going back and forth for a while between the two sources, and the reality is, they're each better than the other in certain parts of the show
...
- this source has more hiss in some first set songs. But like a lot of others, stella blue is what counts here for me.
The other source is a bit hard to take during Stella due to that annoying buzz/ hiss - this source still has a little - but when you crank the volume, this one catches that amazing performace much better. Jerry's vocals are clear and it just has a wonderful ambience to it.
One of the absolute best vocal performances from Garcia.

The show is f***king amazing.
The sound here is WAAY better than the other SBD source. How to tell? Easy. Turn up the volume, then load this page and ... the other SBD page side by side. First play the Stella from one (just a few secs will do), then the other.
The difference? This source, the quiet moments are clean. In the other, there is a grating, migrane-inducing *BZZZZZZZZZZ* sound that blares through every quiet moment in the music.
Conclusion: Download this source. It's way better.

Subject: Unique and fantastic St. Stephen
Among the many highlights from this awesome show is one of the best “lazy” St. Stephens (slow and a little funky) from this “comeback” era for
...
the band. This version has very melodic leads and an intro where Jerry incorporates some very playful phrasing into the classic riff lines. I’ve listened to it 100,000 times and it still makes me smile. And I remember being determined to learn it note for note when I started playing guitar. Just one of the best Stephens ever: different and less spooky, but a unique interpretation/arrangement that clearly refreshed the song for the band and gave new legs to a former concert staple that would keep it in fairly frequent rotation for at least a few more years. As discussed earlier, there’s also some real fatback from Phil throughout this show. Ohhh what I would give to have been there on this night…but alas… I was only six years old. Oh well. Thank you archive.org for this particular show as it was one of my favorite tapes from back in the day, but I only had a scratchy copy of the otherwise beautiful and rockin’ second set.

Subject: Because of the Pre-FM Feed
We get an accurate representation of what Phil sounded like that night in an old, gilt-edged movie palace built in the 20's on Market Street in downtown
...
San Francisco.
For some listeners, it is too much bass -- bottoms out in places due to the original recordist's inattention unto recording levels. One may have to re-adjust personal levels to suit.
Nevertheless, at certain sequences, if one would be able to distinguish the lower tones on the spectrum, one would viscerally appreciate the entire clasp, re: defining the innermost dimensions of the electric bass and all its particular outer limits.
You will have to listen to decide for yourself, but, I guarantee, it will be worth your effort even if the bass is sadly overdriven, in places, throughout.
This show conjures many fond memories, so, perhaps, it really doesn't matter what songs they did or how they did them. The ambient sound -- well punctuated with Phil in all his splendor -- renders every song sweet and yet it pulverizes you, as well. You're like dripping honey hamburger captured in amber at the end of this.
On a side note: During outro of Might As Well there is an audible explosion.
Note the unusual grouping to start the second set: MAW, Sansom, Candyman, Lazy Lightning>Supplication>Let It Grow>Drumz. The band was obviously trying new things in its triumphant return to the stage!

has a warmer sound which I prefer.both sound very good-it just depends how you play back the music.I have made a few comparisons w/the bertha remasters and this seems to be true with most of them.thanks to everyone who remasters/tweaks and makes these recordings available for us to listen.as far as the show - you cant deny its a 5 star and probably one of the best available for any year!

I like the sound on the other source better on my system, but this source doesn't sound bad if I keep the treble flat. On the other source I turn the treble

The show itself is a 10 star as far as I'm concerned. This one ranks up there with the 8/27/72 Springfield Creamery Benefit as one of the most heartfelt
...
and musically tight Dead shows I've ever heard, although I still have to listen to a few thousand other shows to really make that call ; > I knocked a star off for the audience being cut out of the tracks which takes away from the feeling of really being there that I get listening to an uncut show. I haven't listened to the other version of this show posted here but the text says that the guy who posted it got it from J. Ashley, who mastered this version, so I'm assuming it's basically the same. If anyone out there has a line on an uncut full version of this show please let me know. I would give my left arm for it (I'm right handed so I'd still get by ok). Thank you a thousand times for posting this show!
P.S. If anyone out there is interested I have this sbd and will gladly B&P. Cheers.

And as dr. flashback wrote about that statement as it applied to the first SBD available here: No hat eating. Although ... there are some great shows in June at Boston Music Hall and The Beacon, this show is incredibly good. I've just replaced my old song files with these...yum! They're delicious. Enjoy!
Thanks to Jay for the Bertha remasterwork and everyone else involved in getting this version of this standout show available to us now.
This is a no-brainer. Five Skulls.
